NAw/ Phalen prize fight. The
NJ e& Asf&- answer came back: 1--WE
sess. @a1MD - don't have anything to
u - do with prize fights"
And vet that very day Editor Rothaker
knocked out Editor Rosewater in one
round in public street in Omaha. The
GLOBE showed its superior enterprise by
ordering $50 words of the Omaha scrap.yH ~

The set-to with Mr.. Rosewater must have
somewhat unsettled Mr.. Rothaker's eQuilib-
rum and filled him with Il desire to scalp
somebody by way of appeasing his wrath, for
he went straight TO the office and accepted
the resignation OF his managing editor. Eu-
gene Bertrand. This is one of the most dis
tressing features connected with the whole
affair, us Mr.. Bertrand is frst-c!ass news-
paper man and genial gentleman. But he
is not liable to endure much hardship. Only
q short time ago he welded young
widow worth $50, 600, and the firm, it is un
derstood, has made some lucky deals in real
estate. The public need not be astonlshed
some fine morning. therefore, to learn that
MIR. Bertrand has purchased the office, and
that Mr. Rothaker is ont of u job.

There are rumorS hOating about TO the
effect that Gov. McGill is very much wearied
with the counseors and advisors who have
gotten him into his unpleasant political pre-
dicament, and that he realizes wha. blunders
have been made in his appointments so far
Therefore, he has determined to make
amends IA some degree, so as to conclllate, as
far as possible Il few OF the elements which
have become offended and display signs of
sullenness or pugracity. One OF his plans, 1t
is understood, is to sodlfy himself with the
Farmers alliance, and the farmers them
selves, by appointing Gen. Barrett
one of the state board OF equal
iZation. There isn't greut deal
of money in II, but it Is not believed that the
general would insist on having ice cream and
cake when by so doing he might lose good
square meal of corn bread and bacon.

Judge Brsbin is said 10 have one of the
finest libraries in ST. Paul. which he secured
in very novel and inexpensive way. He
borrows books from friends and forgcts to
return them. Being twitted by one of his
good-natured victims, a few days ago, the
Judge remarked: 'Why, how else is per-
on to collect a good library?' The judge
has such winning way about him that his
friends consider they are doing themselves a
favor by allowing MID TO keep tue DOOkS.

A man in Dakota, who must be humorist,
sent telegram OF congratulation to the Pho
neer Press on Friday night-on which there
were So collect charges-after reading the
souib in that paper which proudly boosted
that after old winter once took his departure
in the Northwest he never came back again
until his proper season. That was the day
the blizzard came along.

William E. Lee, of Todd county, is not be-
lieved to have gone home from the legislature
and smothered his ambition to death. He
will come to the surface at some unexpected
time and cause somebody trouble. Mr.. Lee
has been appointed superintendent of one of
the departments at the coming state fair,
where he will have an opportunity to shake
hands with the farmers, display his knowledge
of agriculture and get in his work to good
advantage in political wirepulling. The re-
port is also prevalent that Mr.. Lee has pur-
chased controlling interest in the Long
Prairie Leader, hoping to use it as an impor-
tant lever in furthering his designs. All Of
which would tend to indicate that Mr.. Lee
will start in the race when the word 'go'' is
given.

The fight between Baker and Canning, in
| the Norman county district, has never ceased
since the November election, and it bids fair
to be permanent feature of life ID that Sec
! ton Of the state. Baker is still having tables
| printed showing what he accomplished; in the
| lie gislature, and Canning has had a large, Gu,
| OF himself made, which he is having printed
all the papers in the district. Advocates
of the efficacy of illustrated journalism are
| betting on Canning.
